Dos and Don'ts to prevent and slow down rate of progression in cataracts, glaucoma, and  macular degeneration: 

• Do have eye exams regularly.
• Do give up smoking.
• Do reduce sugary foods/drinks and refined carbo-hydrates that increase the risk for cataracts and macular degeneration.
• Do not eat packaged, processed foods.
• Do not eat fat free foods as they contain artificial fats.
• Do wear sunglasses, if possible with an amber, brown, or orange tint that blocks blue light.
• Do eat lots of dark green leafy vegetables (kale, spinach, and collards) as they contain lutein.
• Do eat lots of foods rich in vitamin C.
• Do eat foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids (fatty fish, fish oil, flaxseeds, and some nuts) as it reduces inflammation.
• Do check your blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol levels and keep them normal.
• Do exercise regularly and keep your weight down.

Make time and have your eyes checked at least once a year, exercise regularly to increase the efficiency of your cardiovascular system and blood oxygen levels, and eat a diet rich in anti-oxidants, vitamins and minerals to preserve and improve your vision. The sooner you realize you have a problem the higher the probability to cure it naturally. The foods in this presentation can prevent or slow down cataracts, glaucoma and macular degeneration.
